According to MPA, there have been no more oil sightings at sea or on land
since 20 October , when Shell initially reported the spill. There have also
been no sightings of oil following the separate oil overflow bunkering event
off Changi on 28 October.
All seaward oil response assets
deployed by MPA for both incidents will be deactivated.
Since 20 October, government agencies have placed containment and
absorbent booms in various areas as a preventive measure. These will be
gradually removed.
The National Environment Agency and MPA are investigating the leaking
slop event at Pulau Bukom. The MPA will also investigate the Changi oil
overflow bunkering event. In
June, MPA reported that the northern half of the Pasir Panjang Container
Terminal (PPT) has been cleansed of oil slicks.
